Changes occur by Lynne Manrlque Several changes occurred in sci- ence department according to Rob- ert Stuart, chairperson. GATE Biology was added to the roster of science courses. Taught by Fred Manke, this class was designed as an accelerated course for those sophomores who had taken GATE Earth Science in their freshman year. Other changes includ- ed the addition of two teachers: Rog- er Dickson taught Biology, and Sue Sweetman taught a science-health competency course. Both were also instructors in Agriculture Department. Mr. Stuart expected more changes in the department following the imposi- tion of stricter high school graduation requirements which call for two years of science instead of one for all stu- dents. Seemingly in anticipation of the new requirements, enrollment was up in all science courses, added Mr. Stu- art. He attributed this increase of inter- est in science classes to what he called a generally more serious atti- tude toward school on the students' part.

Having been department chairperson for eight years already, Mr. Smith said that there haven't been many changes in that time. One major change, however, that goes into effect next year, is the requirement to take an extra sci- ence course in the freshman year. World Cultures would be moved to X Y iii: ii r 'f x 'iQtiit,,:jla fs: ti? Donls France PE, Driver Ed, Career Decisions BA - CSU, Chico enjoys tennis, camping, traveling at GDHS for 11 years Erlka Glbbs Cafeteria enjoys baking, music at GDHS for 3 years the sophomore level. Since this year's freshmen had already taken World Cultures, it would appear there would be no World Cultures courses next year. This meant that some teachers would get reas- signed to other classes. The Social Science department was also in dire need of new textbooks. Some are 30 years old, but, due to cutbacks, teachers were unable to purchase new books. Despite these setbacks, Mr. Smith felt that Davis has a superi- or Social Studies department and teaching program. Social Science 179
